The Appeal

A. M. MAYER Who Struck James Whitcomb Riley? With an Account of His Abandonment of the Watermellon "Habit" More or Less Truthfully Told by THE REVEREND EZEKIL LOUDMOUTH VOL.19.NO.52 Who Struck James With an Account of H. Watermellon "Habit" More THE REVEREND E In order that the reader may understand fully the events leading up to the misadventures herein set forth, a brief sketch of the author is necessary. The Reverend Ezekil Loudmouth had been the pastor of a colored church in Indianapolis but owing to his inability to recognize the difference between the debit and credit side of the church's collection accounts was deposed; and drifting to Chicago had so effectually "back-illadded" that the sole remains of his ministerial life appeared in his costume and the unjustious use of large and inappropriate words. His every day dress consisted of the regulation ministerial garb; top hat, frock; or as he termed it "Jim Swigger" coat, black trousers and white choker. The Reverend Ezekiel spent most of his waking hours in the various resorts where the gentlemen of his color most do congregate; taking such gifts as the Fates might send in the way of refreshment, and woulking thanking the cool for the drops and crumbs which fell to his K Naturally the fare in both forms being of an uncertain quality, the times of famine were in an inverse ratio to the times of plenty and in consequence the talk of feasts to come occupied more hours than their consumption. On this particular occasion the conversation had turned on the value of peaches as both a lucious and nutritious diet, whereat the Rev. Ezekiel took the floor.

Down the Road With Baby Holding on by His Ears." "Dood-by, Grampa," said Baby. It was the night before New Year's. The air was clear and frosty, and the moon and stars were shining down on the sparkling snow that covered the prairie, like the cloth on a round dining table. Toward midnight, if you had peeped from one of the windows or Mr. Blain's farm house, you would have seen what would have appeared to have been a shadow, coming up the road toward the house. As it came nearer you would have seen that it was a little animal about the size of a lamb, with great long ears and a bobtail, and so white that at a little distance you could not tell it from the snow. But nobody saw the shadow, for everyone in the house was asleep, ex- "Away He Scampered, Down the Road" cept the baby, who was lying wide awake in her little cot at the foot of mother's bed. Just as the clock was striking midnight, there came a gentle tap at the door. Baby heard it, but no one else did, and she climbed out of her cot and ran to the door. "I cogmin' Bannie," she called out as she reached up to the handle and let the little animal in. "Now oo wait a minit till baby dets on her toat, Mr. Jack Rabbit." Then she ran to the drawer and pulled out her little coat and bonnet and mitts and her little foot muffs. Baby had never dressed herself before but at midnight, between the old and the new year, babies can do many wonderful things which they cannot do at any other time, but you never see them doing these things, as they will not do them while anybody in the house is awake. It only took baby a few minutes to get on all her clothes. Then she opened the door and she and the jackrabbit went out into the moonlight night. As soon as they were outside the rabbit got down on his knees, and baby climbed on his back and away he scampered, down the road, with baby holding on by his ears. Soon they were far away from baby's home, so far that they could only see the chimney. At last they came to a hole leading down under the ground. Down this the jackrabbit popped, and stopped up before a little round door. He tapped at the door and waited until it was opened by a fat little woman in a big white apron and a white dusting cap. "Ha, ha!" laughed the little woman as she took the baby off the jackrabbit's back, and nearly smothered her with kisses. "Here is another little guest at Grandma Jack Rabbit's New Year's party. Now Jack, shut the door or you will freeze the little cows. Now baby let me take off your coat and bonnet, so that you can play with the other children." Baby's eyes opened wide with wonder, for there were over a dozen other little babies in the room, which was a great large one. "Now Jack," said Grandma Jack "Dood-by, Gra Rabbit, whose face was wrinkled up with laughing, all the time, "you play with the children, while I get the supper." Baby turned to see the rabbit, but he was gone, and in his place stood a little fat man, with a jolly laughing red face and a snow white beard. Baby Gathered Up Hcr Little Skirts and Went Spinning Around. "What is ne jackrabbit dat bot me here?" asked the baby. "I am he," answered the little man. "We Jack Rabbits just turn ourselves into little animals like rabbits when we go out, but when we are at home, we are little men and women." "O Grandpa, please come and play with us," cried the other children, who had all been there the year before and they knew these little people, while this was the first time our little baby had ever been to see the Jack Rabbits, for she was only a tiny little infant the year before. Grandma Jack Rabbit went over to the stove at the other end of the kitchen, where she had a big pot of taffy boiling, some corn popping, a With Baby Holding on by His Ears." big pan of chestnuts roasting in the oven, and some other things cooking for the children's supper, and Grandpa began to play with the children. Oh! What fun they had! They played "Drop the Handturchief," "Nuts in May," "Here Comes a King Arriving," "Green Gravel," "Blind Man's Bur," and every game they knew. Then Grandpa got down on his hands and knees and took them for a ride on his back all around the room and over to where Grandma was pulling the golden taffy that had been boiling on the stove. "Here's a piece of taffy for each one of my babies," laughed Grandma. Now gallop away Grandpa, like the old black ram that went to London Baby Gathered Up Hcr Little S Town, but don't let the little dears fall off like papa and mamma did, while I set the table." Grandpa seuttled off, as fast as he could go on his hands and knees, to the other end of the room, singing: "Papa, mamma and Uncle John went to Papa fell off, O dear! O dear! "Papa fell off, O dear! O dear! "Mamma fell off, O dear! O dear! And I and you fell off, O dear! O dear! on, allowing on to London Town." Then the child ren all scrambled off Mr. Jack Rabbitt's back and cried: "Now Grandpa, you play us some music and we'll dance till Grandma gets supper ready." So Grandpa took the funniest looking black stick out of his pocket, and put it up to his mouth, but you ought to have heard the beautiful music npa," said Baby. that came out of that stick. It was magic and any one could dance to it even if they had never danced before, nor even seen any one dancing. Suddenly the music stopped and Grandpa said: "Come now children and have some supper, Grandma's waiting for us." $2.40 PER YEAR. Then Mr. and Mrs. Jackrabbit lifted each one of them into a high chair and tied a big bib around his or her neck, so that the children would not spill anything on their clothes. And what a feast they had! There were baked apples,inger bread,doughnuts, cookies, and jam, and afterwards they had nuts, raisins, taffy and popcorn. "Now Grandpa," said one of the children, with a big piece of taffy in his mouth, "Please tell us where you got this new baby to-night." "Well," said Grandpa, "last week I was passing Mr. Blain's house and the baby was out playing in the garden. I hid behind the snow man she was building, so that nobody but she could see me, while I told her about the party which we have here every New Year's Eve, and I asked her if she would like to come. When she said she would, I told her not to tell any one, but to be awake at midnight on New Year's night and I would come for her then." "Es," said Baby Blain, "it was a drefful long time till New Year's too. I fot it ud never tum, but it did tum and I'm having a gate time. Tan I tome here again?" "O yes!" said Grandma. "We will have another party next year and I hope you will all be here." "Yes!" cried all the children at once, "we'll all come if we can." "Well now," said Mrs. Jackrabbit, "come and have a game with Grandma, and then it will be time to go home." "Let's play tag and we'll all try to catch Grandma," said one of the children, and they all rushed toward her, but Grandma was too quick for them and had darted across the room before any one could catch her. Off they ran after her, Grandpa and all, but Grandma bobbed around like a cork in a pail of water, till she was all out of breath, and then Baby Blain, the littest one of all, was able to catch her. "He! Ho! Ho! You're caught at last," hughed Mr. Jackrabbit. "Well its time that our little ones were going home for it will soon be daylight." The children were all sorry that the party was over, but Grandma and Grandpa put on their coats and hoods kiirts and Went Spinning Around. and muffled them up warm. Then Mrs Jackrabbit kissed them and wished them all a happy New Year, and told them to be sure to come again the next New Year's Eve, when Grandpa Jackrabbit called for them. But where was Grandpa? He had disappeared while his wife was kissing the children, and in his place stood the funny little animal with the long ears, which had brought the children there, and which is called a jackrabbit. Grandma lifted the children on his back, all together, and opened the door, and away the rabbit scampered, up the hole and over the snow. When he came to the nearest house, he let one of the children off and then turned down the road, letting a child off at nearly every house he was to. Baby Blain's house was the farthest off of all, and before they reached it, Baby could see that it was beginning to get light away in the East, where the sun rises. The Jackrabbit saw the light too, and flew along, faster than ever, till the wind whistled past Baby's ears, for if he did not get home before daylight, some one might see Jackrabbit and shoot him for their dinner. But it was not long before they came to the Blain house. "Dood-by, Grandpa," said Baby, as she slid down off the Rabbit's back, "and sank so vey much," and the rabbit was of like a shot. Baby opened the door and then shut and locked it after her, and she was all unladdressed and in her little bed. When father and mother got up, there was the baby, fast asleep, just as she was when they went to bed the night before, and they wondered what made her sleep so late for she was always first awake in the morning. They never found out, however about the Jackrabbit's party, for Baby had promised not to tell. Baby went again next year, and every year until she was five years old, but after that she could not go any more for the Jackrabbits never had any children over five years old at their parties. She is a big girl now, and her father and mother don't call her Baby any more, but Marguerite, but she will always remember the fun she had at the Jackrabbit's party.

The board of education several years ago built a special school for African-American children, a number of others refused to send their children there and attempted to send them to the nearest public school. The superintendent of schools refused to permit this and a suit for mandaunt against the officials. The suit has been to the appellate and supreme courts a number of times, and has been reversed and remanded open various points each time. An appeal has been taken to the state supreme court. Money will be needed to make the fight and the Afro-Americans of Illinois ought to furnish it. The Appeal will give $10 to start the fight. How much will you give, kind reader? Again we come to the finale of another year, this being the last issue of THE APPEAL for 1903. This year like others gone before has had its own new and improved and we know that the former has not outnumbered the latter? We cannot. We hope our readers, like ourselves, can look back upon a year of hard, earnest work, successfully brought to a close. We have not done all we wished to do for the year, but we have done in our own way, endeavored to do the best we could: "ange's could do no more." The complete year is to be a memorable one, and we trust that all we need to be full-fill-er. We wish all a Happy New Year! The count of guests at Knottage公园 down on important design Saturday, the count of the late John Hancock, the count of the late John Hancock were required to come from the council for the ordinance is unanticipated. tutional and void, and that the council had no right to provide a discriminating regulation. Good! Dr. Booker T. Washington was invited to Nashua, N. H., last week to address a woman's club. When he reached the city he was refused access because of his religious learning. Learning of the master a prominent divine offered his hospitality and Mr. Washington became his guest. The women's club passed a resolution denouncing the action of the hotel proprietor against them. In the future guests of the club will be entertained at the homes of the members. The Rev. J. E. Burke, Rector of the Afro-American church, St. Benedict the Moor, New York City, was received privately with the Pope recently. The church opened great interest in Father Burke's account of his mission, and said "Carry our love and apostolic blessing to the colored people." If any people need the blessings of the church, and of God the Father, the dark-skinned brethren of the United States are the people. Samuel Benner, an Ohio farmer whose predictions for the past twenty-five years have been often correct in commercial as well as political matters, prophesies that the Republican party is unaccustomed in the fall of November, 1904. After 1904 there will be a revival of trade, better times and higher prices until 1911. We hope Benner's prediction will prove to be true in every particular. Eleven of the four men indicted for the grand jury in connection with the trial of the school teacher, David S. Wyatt in the public square of Belleville, Ill., June 6 last, were fined $50 and costs in the St. Clair county circuit court by Circuit Judge R. D. W. Holdry last Friday. But a punishment for committing murder, but it may have some good effect. The action of Congress in adopting the Cuban reciprocity bill is a distinct victory for President Rocsevell, who has urged such action ever since he became chief executive. He has met with strong opposition by some Republicans, but that did not deter him from bringing out the Cuban reciprocity, which he believes to be of great advantage to this country as well as Cuba. The question for the Indiana-Illinois debate to be held at Bloomington, Ind., in March will be: "The changes in the constitution of Southern states since 1858, by which the Negro vote in such states has been restricted, are, on the whole, to be commended. Illinois has until Jan. 16 to decide what side its team will team." The race problem in the Cherokee nation is solved to the general satisfaction of the three races by having each color to itself. The Cherokee speaking citizens much prefer to associate together. Among Afro-Americans there is so great a variety of color that it is difficult to make a color line for each shade. A color line is a fool thing anyway. State Superintendent W. F. Carrington of Missouri makes a statement: "It is the policy of the state that separate meetings of Caucasian and Afro-American teachers be held. I approved the action of County Superintendent Andrae in declining tovoke the certificate of Miss Evans of St. Louis for a retusal to attend a joint meeting." The Blaine Invincible Republican Club of, Washington, D. C., Perry H. Carson, president, has passed resolutions denouncing the proceedings of the "Self constituted convention" of the Suffrage League held in Washington last week, "which met for two days and accomplished nothing." That was a terrible disaster which overtook Walden University at Nashville, Tenn., last week in which the president, a former president, cost their lives and a large number were injured. Our heart goes out in sympathy for the bereaved relatives of the stricken ones. --- George Dixon, the 120-pound champion pusillet of the world, is having a very large time on the other side of the field, color "cuts no ice" in sporting circles. Carnegie thinks the Afro-American pusillet is being to the nation, and their presence in South makes the country impregnable. THE PHELPS HALL BIBLE TRAIN- ING SCHOOL Connected with the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute at Tuskegee, Ala., offers exceptional opportunities to young men wishing to prepare for the Christian ministry. The chief aim of the instruction is to afford students the necessary knowledge of the English Bible and to implant in their hearts an amation to dedicate their lives to the elevation and Christianization of their race. Students are required to do missionary work in the various churches and Sunday schools near the institute and to report on same each week. The teaching in the Bible school is wholly undenominational, the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any biological work now being done. The Bible school is not a library, Pelps Hall is three stories high. It contains a chapel, library, reading room, offices and three recitation rooms, besides forty rooms for dormitory purposes. Ed. Rigger J. Penney, the chapel supervisor, is assisted by Rev. B. H. Peterson and Rev. J. H. Gadson. A special course of lectures is given each year in the Bible school by Dr. C. O. Booth, of Salma, Ala. Right Rev. George W., of Salma, Ala. Left Rev. H. T. Johnson, of Philadelphia. Other noises also lecture from time to time. The teaching is free. The cost of book, include furnished room, livet. rent, and no other month. Students are afforded an opportunity to work out from two to three dollars of this amount each month. In some cases arrangements can be made to work out the entire cost. Further information if desired can be covered by address* Parker T. Washington Parker T.

The writer describes the out-of-the-wa places which she visited with a style entirely natural and yet which exhibits a very different treatment, quite unique. In the chapter calls for very few of the�er's a happy ending," she writes: "If the food was bad the drink was worse. The universal male demand for whiskey led to the death of a man who had a good place in the world and the statement. "Used the Houses of Parliament." The commercial traveler tasted it, put down his glass and stared thoughtfully at the label. Then added a few words: "I was a slick Glasgow accent," "Whar-r did you stint on bottle?" The delicate Scots' irony was, I fear entirely lost. It was the same commercial traveler, who, a few minutes later, in the byway, share a rather less poisonous drink uncarted from somewhere. "Thank you, not," he replied. "Aw'm thinkin' aw've been the world as much as I've been related how feeling thirsty in the die of the night, he had got up and drunk what he believed to be about half a bottle of water. In the morning he discovered the world, and the whisky bottle the empty." I thought it was very guided water—I be remarked. The writer describes in a very interesting article the Philippines, the straits settlement Japan, China, and other countries in the Eurasia. The illustrations are, many of them in colors and are very elaborate. A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAVERY A Political History of Slavery by William Henry Smith. With an introduction by Whitehall Reid. Two volumes. $v.o. William Henry Smith. $5.00. New York G. P. Fulman's Sons. "A Political History of Slavery," by Wm. Henry Smith, is an elaborated story contrasted with the slaves' story, from the early days of the 8th century to the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States. A POLITICAL HISTORY of WHITLAND Reid, which tells of Mr. Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive vol- Mr. Reid says: "This Political History is written with the fullness of knowledge that comes from having seen many of the events from the inside as they occurred, from a lifelong familiarity with and study of the entire range of the subjects, and from access to much unpublished information, in the papers of President Hayes and Governor Brough, in the records of the state office held during a critical part of the period, and in constant personal communication with some of the actors." Again: “As time goes on fuller justice will be done. In the history of the movements by which a free people enlarged the bounds of freedom, to communities and to leading men that relied upon typical Anglo-Saxon means for the correction of wrongs in the better development of Anglo-Saxon institutions; — to Horace Greley first among public educators, to Chase and Seward. Stanton and Welles, first among legislators and cabinet ministers, and finally to the peer, if not the superior of them all, and certainly the most capable politician of the list. Abraham Lincoln.” In Chapter I, the author says: "If there was slavery, the Constitution was deprecated by the men who formed the Constitution; who, recognizing that such an institution was inconsistent with the great principles of civil law, was deprecated by the Constitution and which constitute the basis of our Republic, a name so repulsive to freedom. We must conclude that they were wrong, and that the event of that day. There was no state government, and that feeling that it was injurious to society was in no sense dependent upon sectionalism. We are equally condenately expected: emancipation was in no sense condenated by Maryland; it is not reasonable to suppose that if there had been no inhibition of the African slave trade, emancipation would have been reasonable." Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and "Opposition to the institution of slavery is a serious obstacle to the sufficiency or from economic and social policies. The resistance of those who oppose it is a serious obstacle to its destructive influence because as impotent as his or succumbed to the violection of its destructive influence has impotent its source in religious feelings played an important part in the creation of a religious culture. The other denominations in the world of moral influence for the eradication of slavery outspoken utterances in the Presbyterian Baptist and Methodist churches at an early stage are especially in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. "Some years ago one who had been a young boy in the city's content endowed to show the unattainability of current history in dealing with the genesis of modern abilitions," he wrote. "The public prints as to whether Wm. John O'Connor was entitled to be styled the first Apostle of Empancipation. Geo. W. Jolian O'Connor was entitled to be styled the first history," clearly established the claims of "O'Connor to be mentioned before either John O'Connor or Wm. John O'Connor looked the claims of another whose career was closely intertwined with the Woolman, a friend, who was born in New Jersey about 1720. Then follows an account of John O'Connor's about 28 years of age, interesting and interesting and interesting and interesting to arouse the conciliences of slave-settlers. He then about 28 years of age, so much so that he dedicates his observations on the Keeping of Negroes." After his death in 1722, his journal "A History of the Negroes" shows that his life was given to the work of emancipation. He traveled to the South for preaching remembrance and counseling. "The author discourses with painstaking detail on the history of the *Jonah Bill* "Repeal of the Missouri law" and its effect on the discussion exhibits the knowledge, which could only result from the author's research. many years' study and contact with the military. Vol. II opens with a chapter on "The Outbreak of the War" in which he says, "We have to treat the enemy treated with scant respect. They become the dupes of Knaves, the instrument of invade disorders to enter in; they are the real enemies to human progress. When they are sent to the enemy, with men resolve in purpose to disrupt the Union and overthrow the government, they are impotent as he was in fact as the executive. Imagine Andrew Jackson, the first president to engage with the House? Would they have billed him ORGANIZED LABOR Organized Labor. By John Mitchell, Philadelphia. For illustrations, $1.75 net. Philadelphia: American Book and Bible House. What particularly impresses the reader of Mitchell's book is the way Mitchell has shown, Mr. Mitchell, although a unionist of the Unionist, and the way he organized labor has had in this country, his stems to take up the problem from the point of view of the workers. His point of view is that of the general organization; and is especially eloquent in organizations; and is especially eloquent in discussions of the weak point in the organization. There are a number of chapters taking up the arguments against Trade Unionism as a condition of the workman. Mr. Mitchell takes up in detail the question of strikes that are prevented or at least minimized. There are half a dozen chapters dealing with the life of Joe, giving the story of the strike by Mitchell states that at the beginning of the strike, Joe was a clown, a clapstype, and that if energetic action had not taken at this time by the operators, the strike would have been a history of the strike and the story of how victory was snatched from defeat is told in a graphic and eloquent manner by the characters. --- MONEY, BANKING, AND FINANCE. BOLES'S MONEY. Ranking and Finance. B. Albert, Bolles. Ph.D., LL.D. Author of "Principle of Business. Officers," etc., and Lecturer in the University of Pennsylvania and Haverford College.

CIVIL WAR TIMES. Civil War Times. By Daniel Walt Howe, author of the Puritan Republic. Fr. Ph.D. $1.50. Indianapolis: Dobbs-Merrill Co. The war of '61-5 will never cease—at least in the generation of personal and never of absorbing interest. This is so, because it will cause those giants still survive its vicissitudes; that breadth escapes, and the immature marches; that Gatsby's and Chickasaw's profoundly influenced the civilizations of the world; because its echoes still revive American life. And these three things the author's volume is interesting. It can be read in depth, in details of the great strife which has hitherto remained unwritten, is brought forth One of the most interesting chapters in the volume is one dealing with the relation of the Confederacy toward the "Negro Soldier." The author tells us, that nearly every important Confederate commander favored the enlistment of black soldiers; that the matter was finally debated in the Confederate Senate, and the bill authorizing the enlistment of Negro soldiers, was defeated by but one vote—that of Senator Hunter. That when the desperate circumstances of the Confederacy became so visible that the leaders saw the doom of Richmond and the "cause," a draft order was issued to force the black soldier to fight under the Confederate flag, but that before it could be made effective, the fall of Richmond, and the flight of Jefferson Davis was at hand. This chapter is especially interesting at this time in view of the present propaganda of the Southern people, to debate the Negro, whom they were perfectly willing in the last desperate strait of the Confederacy, to enlist as a soldier, under its banner. There are other very interesting chapters in the book. The style is clear, uninvolved and natural, and the author has written instructively. THE MILLIONAIRE'S SON. The Millionaire's Son. By Anna Robeson Brown, author of "The Immortal Son," and Co. The Millionaire's Son, the latest novel by Anna Robeson Brown, is the story of a woman who chooses between the material advantages of marriage and the temptations specifically the higher claims of thought and social service. The book and a brilliant satire on social conditions in America, it is, however, first of all, an novel with a skill and skill and concentration. The reader is promptly caught in the curse of the unfortunate final paragraph is reached. The central situation is the most novel and original in modern fiction. There is a large gallery of well-known illustrations, frilling the heroine who overlooks with vitality and feminine charm, and of course whose character is drawn with great insight and sympathy. The novel is great with insight and full-page drawings by A. E. Becher. MORE FIVE MINUTE STORIES. By Annette Goldsmith and James Zimco. Wallace Goldsmith. Cloth square 12m. Net $1. Boston: Dana Estes & The second volume of the successful series of Five Minute Questions, with short tales for children, which will prove as popular with mothers as with children, is now available from RYE EDUCATION, writing of the first series, stated, with truth: "The children have been telling in this famous author, who never seems to find the end of her resourcefulness." The publishers can assure the author's wide circle of admirers that "More Five Minute Questions is one of the most entertaining children's books she has ever written."

SOCIAL LIFE IN THE EARLY REPUB- Social Life in the Early Republic. By Anne Holloworths Wharton. Pro- fessively illustrated. Svo. Buckman, gilt tissue. Published by J. B. Bippincoff Company. Within the last year, or two, there has been written a good deal of interesting reading, a matter dealing with the early life of the Republic, and the toolset period. Much of the matter that has been given to the public bears the stamp of hastness and ill preparation, and can be found in the following: Anne Hollingsworth Wharton, however, in "Social Life in the Early Republic," has written historically and well. This lady's life is a good one, and the period, and the previous volumes which she has written dealing with the men, the politics and the tragic events of that event, are very well known, and the evolution was not only well received by the reading people, but caused them to look forward with much expectation to the volume, which may be termed exhaustive. The first chapter on "A Social Evolution" carries one straight to the heart of the subject about the following little proologues or apologies which usually characterize works of this class. The Sostomians unto simplicity of the world, the special politics of the people, the disillusionment of manner which divulves more amiable, wrote Brissot de Warville, who visited the principal cities of America, soon after the Revolution. In the new world, the city of Frenchmen recorded that he discovered "neatness without luxury," and, if in other cities and towns that he visited he would be more than all of them he met cultivated men and women so charming that he frankly admitted that for beauty and conversationalism both the other two were so with those of any court in the Old World. In discussing the landed gentry of the southern states she writes: "In nothing way, she's much characteristics of Southern settlers, which are known to them in his love for field sports." A Maryland chronicler writes of his countrymen: "On horses that seemed almost tireless, and down to the horses of the sometimes chased." Beyond the eastern insula from the Chesapeake to the Atlantic, the return journey and the stops at hospitable mansions on the way, took more time than the pursuit of the fcz, and the whole expedition sometimes lasted a week." In a chapter on "Jeffersonian Simplicity," she writes the following story: "When Mr. Maid gave expression to her own stoutтуs, he's a great person. I'm the most made a mental reservation in favor of Mr. Jefferson, with whom she was a great favorite. Indeed it was in consequence of Mr. Jefferson's having given the people of the Madman at a state dinner that he aroused the animosity of the British minister, Anthony Merry. White House etiquette does not seem to have occupied Mr. Jefferson's ploughs, but a very lively at this time and either from carelessness or because of his defiant red-republicanism, he quite seriously offended a number of people." The author writes interesting chapters on the politics, society and intellectual interests of the early inhabitants of the Republic. HISTORY OF THE GERMAN STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY History of the German Struggle for National Liberty 22.59 net. New York: Harper & Brothers. While the literature of Germany leads the men who were prominent in advanced thought concerning philosophy, it is absolutely barren as to biography of the men who were prominent in the struggle immediately following the battle of Wawel. It feels like a feelingly states that no mention is made in German literature of men above mediciate, and that his task has been one of interesting delving into thousands of German sources to obtain the information desired, not a page of which was enlivened by a personal account of the unencote of the leaders of that movement. It is needless to say this popular uprising of the people was never sanctioned in power by its leaders were ruthless in crime to prison there were many advocates, but the pen of the censor prohibited the circulation of books, and the prerogatives of the existing absolute monarchy. The censor even went so far as several patriots, subsequently suspected, thanks that their papers and household were destroyed either by fire or other disaster. With this dearth of material to work upon, the student can fully appreciate the importance of learning upon himself to acquire data from which to accurately describe this momentous change. The student's work well is apparent to any one who will read this volume; and no better encomium can be given than to say it will be the result of the industry and literary ability in presenting for the first time a faithful history of the struggle of the German people for their freedom. --- CRUISING AMONG THE CARIDEEES. Cruising among the Caribeees. By Charles Augustus Stoddard New York: Charles Scissor's Sons. Some eight years ago Mr. Stoddard published this very interesting, as well as instructive, volume, which has since served as visible in the course of the new edition to the West Indies. This new edition is a revision which was deemed necessary on account of the numerous changes, which has been taken place in the islands during the past five years. It is, apart from the fact of its being a book of travel, most is served by the whole of which is which whose natural environments and inheritance have made them among the most-romantic and picturesque people of the globe. ANTISEMITISM. Antismism. By Bernard Lazare, translated by John H. Swo. Pp. 34. Cloth silt top. 32. New York: International Library Publishing Co. Recent events in Russia have given him a great feeling that illness. It is a translation from the French, and its pages must have been written many months before those subtitles have been made. The author is himself a Hebrew-and subject to all the odium that is in-filled in the title his new title to the importance does not seem to have been his judgment in the forming of his opinions. The case is certainly stated in the first cenfor and it is found a filled in. The fault is found to be not all on the part of the Gentil world, but the Israelite himself is charged with having brought much of the trouble to his people by manifest short- The treatment given the subject is histrionic, between the Jew and Gentiles are raced from the earliest times. Perhaps the Jew is far more powerful than the Gentile but how much of crosswriting has been carried on reconchaly between the Hezekiah and the Hebrew resulted a greater victory of the Jewish world, perhaps because the Gentiles list instructions whether these be founded upon the skin. So long, however, as the union prevails that races are distinct and inferior on the other side, there are too many illustrative samples of this in the current history, and it is hard to read with profit by many who are called on to decide questions daily arising Knowles Building.

The other evening George Christian followed his wife, quite a handsome woman, to the Economy Hotel on Jackson street, where she was invited to a party. They had scarcely closed the door when the irate husband broke in. The man who was with the wife drew a fan and shot her husband in the shoulder and then escaped and has not been heard from since. The wound is of little importance and Christian is getting along all right.

On the ground floor is a mighty hall into which one might drive a coach. Above it runs a dining chamber, ninety feet in length and thirty-six in breadth. It remains to-day as it stood in the days when the barrons for whose entertainment it was fashioned were almost the paramount power in the land. Seven hundred of the mightiest and noblest in the kingdom dined simultaneously in this hall when the warlike Nevilles were established at Raby castle. The ancient chamber is good for as many to-day and there is accommodation enough for the cooking. The kitchen is a square of thirty feet, with an oven so huge that at one time it was converted into a wine cellar, the sides being divided into ten parts, each side holding a hogshead of wine in bottles. FROM FRIEND TO ENEMY. Transition That Is All Too Easy of Accomplishment. "How little we know what is behind the smiling masks of flesh and blood which are really all that we can see of our dearest friends!" said a woman. "De Montesquieuu tells us that if we 'scratch a Russian we find a Tartar', but it is a criticism that in a way applies to every one, for it needs only a little abrasion to transform our former intimates into hostile acquaintances, and we can hardly recognize the people whom we once so much liked in the 'Tartars' whom a slight scratch has so completely changed. We pain would ask ourselves which is the real person, the friend whom we formerly knew or the individual who seems so entirely different. It behooves us, therefore, to walk wartly and refrain from fostering our companions if we would keep up our friendships."—London Telegraph. Cure for the Blues. [Specially adapted to Monday morning romance.] I'll tell you a cure for the worst case of blues That ever drove man to commingle with booze. I've lit it myself quite as numerous times As I've fingers and toes or occasion for 'Tis this. When a pumping horizon I see I jolly some fellow that's bluer than me. You never have felt in your life, I'll assert. So deep and so strong a sensation of Tis but that, if you sought 'mid the men that you knew, You'd find some poor devil whose tinting of blue Would make your own color seem tame by its side— So try on this rule I so often have tried. When next the blue devils have camped on your trail, And all you can see for yourself is to Just hustle around till you find some poor cuss Who's muckled to death with some terribly muss— Just size up his trouble, forget you are blue. And jouy the fellow that's bluer than you—S. W. Gillian in the Baltimore American. His Ambition Realized. "At last, after forty years of hard work, my highest ambition is about to be realized," said a worthy fellow citizen who began on a capital of brains and push and is now counting his wealth in seven figures. "I have bought a house before whose doors nearly every parade of consequence will pass. I can sit in the window night or day and see the crowds go by, hear the cheering and listen to the music of the bands without having myself squeezed flat, my toes trodden upon, my clothes disarranged, my hat knocked off and all that sort of thing. Ever since I was old enough to run away from home to witness a procession I have envied the possessors of doors or windows along the line of arch, and at last I'm happy." An Ancient Invention. Archimedes of Syracuse, when he was in Egypt, invented the earliest machine for pumping bilge water out of the holds of ships. The instrument was also used in the Delta for purposes of irrigation. Diordorus Siculus twice refers to it in his writings. A curious model of such an instrument, probably of the late Ptolemaic period, has been found in Lower Egypt. It consists of a terra-cotta cylinder with a screw inside it, ten inches long and four and a half inches in diameter. Near the center of the outside is a band with cross-pieces. These may represent footholds, and suggest that the machine was worked after the manner of the treadmill. Such screws were probably made of wood. Beauty and the Beast. A strange affair happened in a village on the Lake of Constance. A local photographer, wishing to obtain an original design for an illustrated post-card, persuaded a young girl, the village beauty, to pose with a bear belonging to a wandering showman. The photograph was to represent the bear caught in the act of kissing the girl. The bear gave the girl such a close embrace that she felt senseless. It was some time before she recovered, but, fortunately, no bones were broken—London Mall. Some pertinent Questions When you see a young man flaunting his quickly gained wealth in your face, just ask yourself, "How much did he lose in getting it?" How much of himself has he parted with in exchange for the money? Does it pay to sell one's manhood and character in order to get rich a little faster? Isn't it safer to take the slower and approved method? Doesn't a youth lose unless his life is square and clean, no matter what money he gets?"—Success. The Minister's Threat. There was a minister deprived of his pulpit who said to some of his friends that the action should cost a hundred men's lives. They understood it as if, being a turbulent fellow, he would have moved sedition; so they complained of him. Then he explained that his meaning was that if he lost his benefice he would practice physic and then he thought he should kill a hundred men in time.

Since we began making "Star Brand" in 1888, nearly every store in town has an "Extra Brand" of butter; the paper cap is all the extra there is to it.
